From the Boardroom - David Sullivan

West Ham United Joint-Chairman David Sullivan looks back at the defeat against Watford

We are all frustrated with the result against Watford on Saturday but I know that Slaven and his backroom staff will be working hard with the players this week to put things right.


It seems that all our defensive errors this season are punished by goals. I've never know anything like it.


That said and done, to have 20 points on the board after 11 games is still a great start to the season.


I have a theory that if you win big you lose the next game. We won against Arsenal and were then poor against Leicester.


After our 'big win' over Chelsea, the defeat therefore wasn't such a surprise to me.


The other week Newcastle had a big result beating Norwich 6-2 at home and then lost to Sunderland.


Sunderland then have a big win over Newcastle and then lose to Everton.


I am now hoping that Everton's big win over Sunderland might see them lose against us next weekend.


Having said all that Watford were the better team and deserved their win, but had Enner's shot gone in, instead of hitting the post, it might have been a different game.


However, we probably didn't deserve anything from the game and we will all be looking for a better performance when we return to the Boleyn Ground this weekend.
